Homemade Quinoa Granola

I saw a meme this week that said “January is the Monday of months.” Even though I was born in January, it is hardly my favorite page of the calendar. January is gray, cold and coincides with the letdown that follows the holidays. You’re taking down decorations, discarding the Christmas tree and essentially undoing the festivity and joy of the weeks prior. Couple that with the fact that you’re supposed to bring to a screeching halt the cooking, baking and indulgence of December and replace it with salads and green smoothies and well, I’m not a doctor but I think we just found the cause of “Seasonal Affective Disorder.” Even though actual medical doctors might tell you that exercise and eight hours of sleep each night will help, I think baking is a much better bet. Even though there are chocolate chip cookies in my oven as I type this post, a good old fashioned baking binge doesn’t have to mean carbs and calories. I don’t make granola very much, but when I do I always wonder why I don’t make it more often. It’s incredibly easy, it comes together in minutes, and it’s a great thing to bake in […]

When you have leftover pie, turn the delicious filling into a recipe for Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, perfect for Christmas Morning. The holiday season is often a time of year that some of us call “the giving season,” not only for gift-giving to friends and loved ones, but for paying forward random acts of kindness to anyone who might need it. For many people, baked goods around the holidays bring a little bit of comfort and joy. Our favorite treats remind us of home and of holiday memories, regardless of what holiday we celebrate. To me, the dessert that stands out as synonymous with holidays is pie. When it comes to pie, I can think of two likely scenarios for you. First: you’re toting your pie to a party and you want to […]

Crustless Quiche with Caramelized Onions and Prosciutto

In my experience, good things are often highly underrated. Fresh sheets on your bed, the feeling of breaking in new running shoes and quiche. Yes, quiche. Crustless quiche. At first, quiche makes me think of something that my grandmother might have made at a dinner or brunch party years ago. It’s a baked dish based on a mixture of milk, eggs and cheese with meat or vegetables in a pastry crust. In our diet-obsessed society (I’m not omitting myself from that classification) quiche is often thought of as a calorie trap – pastry crust, milk, eggs, cheese – but it most definitely doesn’t have to be. It’s also easy. So easy. When you don’t build the crust from scratch, quiche is probably one of the quickest dishes that you can throw together. Omitting crust will save you a lot of time, a little bit of headache if you’re not a baker and a lot of calories/carbohydrates if you’re watching those. I made this quiche primarily with ingredients from my CSA, which my friend Angie and I recently joined. You could substitute two cups of your favorite vegetables, and swap out the prosciutto for bacon, ham or porchetta — or even […]
